[img]https://i.imgur.com/6L2eHbw.jpg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/juMwsKv.jpg[/img]her is my cabin me and my brother built, he is the master I am the grunt. it is next to the Edisto river in SC the longest black water river in the USA in fact the beams and the inside barn doors came from the river in the form of axe cut old pecky cypress long forgotten. my brother collected the old logs from the river and cut them on his saw mill. the cedar post on the front and back porch was cut by him also. I love the 1930s gas stove, it cooks like a dream. the cabin is only 720 sq. ft. inside but it is plenty for me and my wife.

That's absolutely perfect! Congratulations!

Beautiful cabin. Inside and out.Nice work.

Beauty!

That's about all a fella needs. I dig it!

That is awesome. What a great place.

Very nice! Tell us some more about the construction and post some more pictures.
Well done! Can't wait to get started on mine.

Now you just need one small addition: a 2500 sqft shop out back.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^^

Just beautiful!

I want one just like it!

Super nice!

Very cool

Dream cabin! Well done!

Very nice. Congratulations.

Nice

Veeeery nice! Some major skills looks to have came into play on the project... Just curious, what is the reason for the double pitch on the roof? Is there storage up there?....again, darn fine job.

That looks very comfy,you did well.

Dandy.

Perfect size. Very well done!

Love it! That said, the fridge door opening away from the kitchen would drive me bonkers.....

Agreed but it looks new enough that you might be able to change the swing.

That's very nice.

I love that cabin, would like to have it sitting in the middle of no where beside a stream, the only person I would care about seeing would be my wife. Heck I wouldn't even have to have a TV.

I know a guy, he was married to my cousin once, built his own log cabin back in the 1980's. He can do about anything, wood working, blacksmith, pipe fitter, could fabricate things out of metal that amazed me.

My cousin has a stove just like that. Where can we find parts/information on that stove?

What a nice retreat to get away from the cares of the world, thank you for sharing.

I bet that stove is built heavy too.

What a beautiful way to wake up every morning! It is just perfect!!! I love the stove...

it's been a while since I looked back at these post. I want to thank everyone for there kind words. what a nice bunch of people ya'll are!

Very nice. I am soooo envious! 😊

Looks perfect

OLSKOOL,

To this "half-fast cowgirl" that looks like a LOVE-NEST, away from everything but your own heartthrob.

NIFTY, DarlaG

Very nice, you have done well.

Darla, you need to get DH to build you a LOVE-NEST like that!

rockinbbar,

Actually, Tex (that he & one of his boarding-school chums designed) has a different project in mind. - A 2-story, 22x48 foot "townhouse on a raft"/houseboat, to retire upon & that will be "home ported" near Aransas Pass, TX.
(Tex is about half fish & has wanted for years to live on the water.)

He started thinking about/designing the houseboat (years before we met) when he was last stationed overseas with the Army & is now in "the materials gathering stage" for his "big idea". - For example, he's bought a Cummins diesel engine, marine transmission, shaft & propeller for the PRINCESS ETERNAL & has "squirreled-away" the windows/doors & some other needed parts for the boat.
(The "raft" under the townhouse will be 28x60 feet. He plans to use solar panels for electrical power, with a small diesel "back-up" generator.)

Sincerely, DarlaG

Very nice! Well made, comfy and well decorated!
